About this study

Official title: A Double-masked, Randomized, Parallel-group Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Systemic Pharmacokinetics of Pazopanib Drops, Administered for 28 Days to Adult Subjects With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration.

This is a 28 day study to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of pazopanib eye drops on the central retinal thickness of AMD patients

Read the detailed description

Pazopanib has been formulated as an eye drop for the topical treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics have been evaluated in a first study conducted in healthy volunteers (MD7108238). In the present study, three dosing regimens of pazopanib eye drops, administered for 28 days, will be evaluated in subjects with occult or minimally classic subtypes of choroidal neovascularization due to AMD. This study is designed to measure pharmacological activity of topically administered pazopanib in target tissues (choroid and retina) of patients with AMD by weekly evaluation of central retinal thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Evaluation of efficacy will be performed on an exploratory basis by weekly measurement of visual acuity. The ocular and systemic safety and systemic pharmacokinetics of pazopanib treatment for 28 days will also be evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Central Retinal/Lesion Thickness (CRLT) as Measured by the Carl Zeiss Meditec Stratus Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scanner at Day 29

    CRLT was measured by the Carl Zeiss Meditec Stratus OCT scanner based on the manual measurement of the distance between the inner and outer retina, inclusive of subretinal fluid and any choroidal neovascularization (CNV) as measured in the central 1 millimeter (mm) area of the 7 mm Posterior Pole Scan. OCT scans/images were collected by trained and certified photographer and analyzed by investigator. Two datasets were used for analysis namely Last observation carried forward (LOCF) which included missing assessment for a participant who completed at least 7 days of pazopanib eye drop replaced by the last non-missing assessment post 7 days of pazopanib eye drop treatment. OC dataset included a missing assessment at any scheduled time was considered unevaluable and was not imputed. Baseline was defined as the assessments performed between Day -3 to -1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from the individual post-randomization value at Day 29.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -3 to -1) and Day 29

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Number of Participants With Complete Ophthalmic Examination Values of Potential Clinical Concern

    A complete eye examination was performed to include the following: Examination of eyelids and lashes (including meibomian glands), Pupil, motility and confrontation visual field examination, Slit lamp evaluation of anterior ocular structures (including conjunctiva, tear film, cornea with fluorescein staining, anterior chamber, iris, lens, and anterior vitreous), intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement and Dilated Fundus Examination (Indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp biomicroscopy). Data has been presented in a consolidated format for the total number of participants with values of potential clinical concern for complete ophthalmic examinations until Day 43.

    Measured: Upto follow-up (Day 43)

  2. Number of Participants With Vital Sign Data for Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate of Potential Clinical Concern

    Vital sign assessments included systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. The potential clinical concern range for systolic blood pressure was <85 and > 160 millimeters of mercury, diastolic blood pressure <45 and > 100 millimeters of mercury, heart rate <40 and >110 beats per minute. Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical importance was reported are summarized. The number of participants with potential clinical important findings at any visit were reported.

    Measured: Up to follow up (Day 46)

  3. Number of Participants With Abnormal 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    Single 12-lead ECGs were to be obtained at each Day 15 and follow-up Day 43 using an ECG machine that automatically calculated the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals. ECG findings were defined as abnormal-not clinically significant (A-NCS) and abnormal-clinically significant (A-CS). Data has been presented for the number of participants with A-NCS and A-CS findings.

    Measured: Day 15 and follow-up (Day 43)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinical Chemistry and Hematology Data of Potential Clinical Concern

    Urinalysis included analysis for urine occult blood, urine glucose, urine ketones and urine proteins via dipstick analysis. Data has been presented for number of participants with abnormal urinalysis results. Only categories with values have been presented.

    Measured: Day 29 and follow-up (Day 43)

  6. Number of Participants With Ocular Adverse Events, Non-ocular Adverse Events, Serious Ocular Adverse Events and Serious Non-ocular Adverse Events

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, may jeopardize the participant or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury. Data has been presented for number of participants with ocular and non-ocular adverse events and serious adverse event

    Measured: Up to follow-up (Day 43)

  7. Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [Number of Letter Read on Standardized Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Charts at Day 29

    BCVA was measured in the study eye using the ETDRS grading charts consists of at least 24 to 78 letters placed at a test distance of 4 meters. There were 7 cut off points in visual acuity on ETDRS grading chart: 15 to 29, 10 to 14, 5 to 9, -4 to 4, -5 to -9, -10 to -14 and -15 to -29 letters. Grade 15 to 29 indicates no impairment in vision and grade -15 to -29 indicates worst impairment in vision. Analyses were done for two sub-efficacy-populations. One sub-efficacy population included all participants in the efficacy population with a YES for retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP)/retinal choroidal anastomosis (RCA) NONE field from Digital angiography reading center (DARC) FA form in study eye. The other included all participants in the efficacy population with a YES for eligible field from DARC FA form in study eye. Baseline was defined as the assessments performed between Day -3 to -1. Change from Baseline calculated as subtracting the Baseline value from the value at Day 29.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -3 to -1) and Day 29

  8. Number of Participants With Change in Retinal Morphology (Cystoid Spaces, Subretinal Fluid and Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment) as Determined by OCT

    OCT was used for the determination of retinal morphology changes in the study eye which included assessments of cystoids spaces (cyst like spaces in the inner layers of the retina), subretinal fluid (an exudate between the retina and choroid from various sources including the vitreous cavity, subarachnoid space, or abnormal vessels) and pigment epithelial detachment (retinal pigment epithelium separates from the underlying Bruch's membrane due to the presence of blood, serous exudate, drusen, or a neovascular membrane). Data has been presented for number of participants with retinal morphology changes in the study eye at Day 29.

    Measured: Day 29

  9. Number of Participants With Change in Characteristics (Fibrosis, Atrophy, Blood) as Measured by Fundus Photography (FP)

    Fundus photography involves capturing of images of the center of the very back inner wall of the eye - the retina, optic nerve, macula and main retinal blood vessels. The parameters assessment were heme subretinal hemorrhage (absence or presence at the location), heme intraretinal hemorrhage (absence or presence at the location), subretinal fluid (absence or presence at location), fibrosis (absence or presence at location), atrophy (absence or presence of atrophic changes) and pigment ((absence or presence at location). A protocol set of fundus photographs were obtained at Day 29. Images were read by the investigator for eligibility determination, and by a central reading center for determination of PD effect. Data has been presented for number of participants with changes in eye characteristics in the study eye at Day 29.

    Measured: Day 29

  10. Change From Baseline in Neovascular Size, Total Lesion Size, Fluorescein Angiography (FA) Leakage Area of Measurement, FA Blood Area of Measurement as Measured by FA at Day 29

    FA uses FP to capture images of injected dye circulating throughout the retinal blood vessels to assess leaking, swelling or circulation problems caused by various eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy and wet macular degeneration. The parameters assessed were CNV size, Classic CNV size, FA blood area of measurement, FA leakage area of measurement and total lesion size. A protocol fluorescein angiogram was to be obtained at Day 29. Images were evaluated by investigator for eligibility determination, and by a central reading center for determination of PD effect. Data has been presented for change from baseline in change in eye characteristics in the study eye at Day 29. Baseline was defined as the assessments performed between Day -3 to -1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from the individual post-randomization value at Day 29.
